The endless night

25 Mar

Cathi and I are on our way to Bangkok for a week and a half to attend our mission’s leadership conference.  We left our house at 6 a.m. on Tuesday and as I write this we are sitting in the Hong Kong airport 36 hours later, waiting for our last flight to get us to Bangkok.  Quite a trip!  We just took the longest flight either of us has ever taken – 14 hours in the air from Los Angeles to Hong Kong in a 747-400, the big nice double-decker kind.  We have to admit we’re a bit envious of the business class and first class cabins.  Much more conducive to rest than coach!

Hospitality for a Houseful

Matt and his Wheaton buddies have worked, played and eaten this Spring Break! We are so thankful that they chose to visit Costa Rica! Here they are after a day of demolition at the Prometa office. Now some other teams can come and build what Prometa envisions! Just the thing to erase some mid-semester stress, frustration and get those endorphins and those appetites invigorated!

Going green…or at least cheap

7 Mar

We’re in the midst of changing vehicles from Korean to American. With our second child heading off to college soon we will be able to do just fine with a smaller capacity car. And with this change we are going green with propane. There are over 180 propane filling stations in this country the size of West Virginia, so this is a very convenient way to save. And with propane at just half the cost of gasoline, we hope to reduce our fuel expenses significantly. Our “new” car is a 1998 Chevy Silverado 2500. Big motor and hopefully fewer parts that will break on a regular basis.

We just have to get used to riding around with a potential-bomb in the back.
